- 1
Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.
- 2
I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,
- 3
which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
- 4
We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has done.
- 5
For he established a covenant in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;
- 6
that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; who should arise and tell their children,
- 7
that they might set their hope in God, and not forget God’s deeds, but keep his commandments,
- 8
and might not be as their fathers— a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
- 9
The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
- 10
They didn’t keep God’s covenant, and refused to walk in his law.
- 11
They forgot his doings, his wondrous deeds that he had shown them.
- 12
He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
- 13
He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.
- 14
In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire.
- 15
He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
- 16
He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
- 17
Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.
- 18
They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.
- 19
Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
- 20
Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”
- 21
Therefore the LORD heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,
- 22
because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his salvation.
- 23
Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.
- 24
He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.
- 25
Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full.
- 26
He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.
- 27
He also rained meat on them as the dust, winged birds as the sand of the seas.
- 28
He let them fall in the middle of their camp, around their habitations.
- 29
So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.
- 30
They didn’t turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,
- 31
when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their strongest, and struck down the young men of Israel.
- 32
For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.
- 33
Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.
- 34
When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly.
- 35
They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their redeemer.
- 36
But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.
- 37
For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant.
- 38
But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn’t destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn’t stir up all his wrath.
- 39
He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and doesn’t come again.
- 40
How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!
- 41
They turned again and tempted God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
- 42
They didn’t remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;
- 43
how he set his signs in Egypt, his wonders in the field of Zoan,
- 44
he turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.
- 45
He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
- 46
He also gave their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.
- 47
He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost.
- 48
He also gave over their livestock to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
- 49
He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of angels of evil.
- 50
He made a path for his anger. He didn’t spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,
- 51
and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.
- 52
But he led out his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
- 53
He led them safely, so that they weren’t afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
- 54
He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.
- 55
He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
- 56
Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn’t keep his testimonies,
- 57
but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were twisted like a deceitful bow.
- 58
For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.
- 59
When God heard this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel,
- 60
so that he abandoned the tent of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men,
- 61
and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the adversary’s hand.
- 62
He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.
- 63
Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.
- 64
Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn’t weep.
- 65
Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.
- 66
He struck his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach.
- 67
Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, and didn’t choose the tribe of Ephraim,
- 68
But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved.
- 69
He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.
- 70
He also chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;
- 71
from following the ewes that have their young, he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people, and Israel, his inheritance.
- 72
So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

Masquil de Asaph. ESCUCHA, pueblo mío, mi ley: inclinad vuestro oído á las palabras de mi boca.
- 2
Abriré mi boca en parábola; hablaré cosas reservadas de antiguo:
- 3
Las cuales hemos oído y entendido; que nuestros padres nos las contaron.
- 4
No las encubriremos á sus hijos, contando á la generación venidera las alabanzas de Jehová, y su fortaleza, y sus maravillas que hizo.
- 5
El estableció testimonio en Jacob, y pusó ley en Israel; la cual mandó á nuestros padres que la notificasen á sus hijos;
- 6
Para que lo sepa la generación venidera, y los hijos que nacerán; y los que se levantarán, lo cuenten á sus hijos;
- 7
A fin de que pongan en Dios su confianza, y no se olviden de las obras de Dios, y guarden sus mandamientos:
- 8
Y no sean como sus padres, generación contumaz y rebelde; generación que no apercibió su corazón, ni fué fiel para con Dios su espíritu.
- 9
Los hijos de Ephraim armados, flecheros, volvieron las espaldas el día de la batalla.
- 10
No guardaron el pacto de Dios, ni quisieron andar en su ley:
- 11
Antes se olvidaron de sus obras, y de sus maravillas que les había mostrado.
- 12
Delante de sus padres hizo maravillas en la tierra de Egipto, en el campo de Zoán.
- 13
Rompió la mar, é hízolos pasar; é hizo estar las aguas como en un montón.
- 14
Y llevólos de día con nube, y toda la noche con resplandor de fuego.
- 15
Hendió las peñas en el desierto: y dióles á beber como de grandes abismos;
- 16
Pues sacó de la peña corrientes, é hizo descender aguas como ríos.
- 17
Empero aun tornaron á pecar contra él, enojando en la soledad al Altísimo.
- 18
Pues tentaron á Dios en su corazón, pidiendo comida á su gusto.
- 19
Y hablaron contra Dios, diciendo: ¿Podrá poner mesa en el desierto?
- 20
He aquí ha herido la peña, y corrieron aguas, y arroyos salieron ondeando: ¿podrá también dar pan? ¿aparejará carne á su pueblo?
- 21
Por tanto oyó Jehová, é indignóse: y encendióse el fuego contra Jacob, y el furor subió también contra Israel;
- 22
Por cuanto no habían creído á Dios, ni habían confiado en su salud:
- 23
A pesar de que mandó á las nubes de arriba, y abrió las puertas de los cielos,
- 24
E hizo llover sobre ellos maná para comer, y dióles trigo de los cielos.
- 25
Pan de nobles comió el hombre: envióles comida á hartura.
- 26
Movió el solano en el cielo, y trajo con su fortaleza el austro.
- 27
E hizo llover sobre ellos carne como polvo, y aves de alas como arena de la mar.
- 28
E hízolas caer en medio de su campo, alrededor de sus tiendas.
- 29
Y comieron, y hartáronse mucho: cumplióles pues su deseo.
- 30
No habían quitado de sí su deseo, aun estaba su vianda en su boca,
- 31
Cuando vino sobre ellos el furor de Dios, y mató los más robustos de ellos, y derribó los escogidos de Israel.
- 32
Con todo esto pecaron aún, y no dieron crédito á sus maravillas.
- 33
Consumió por tanto en nada sus días, y sus años en la tribulación.
- 34
Si los mataba, entonces buscaban á Dios; entonces se volvían solícitos en busca suya.
- 35
Y acordábanse que Dios era su refugio, y el Dios Alto su redentor.
- 36
Mas le lisonjeaban con su boca, y con su lengua le mentían:
- 37
Pues sus corazones no eran rectos con él, ni estuvieron firmes en su pacto.
- 38
Empero él misericordioso, perdonaba la maldad, y no los destruía: y abundó para apartar su ira, y no despertó todo su enojo.
- 39
Y acordóse que eran carne; soplo que va y no vuelve.
- 40
¡Cuántas veces lo ensañaron en el desierto, lo enojaron en la soledad!
- 41
Y volvían, y tentaban á Dios, y ponían límite al Santo de Israel.
- 42
No se acordaron de su mano, del día que los redimió de angustia;
- 43
Cuando puso en Egipto sus señales, y sus maravillas en el campo de Zoán;
- 44
Y volvió sus ríos en sangre, y sus corrientes, porque no bebiesen.
- 45
Envió entre ellos una mistura de moscas que los comían, y ranas que los destruyeron.
- 46
Dió también al pulgón sus frutos, y sus trabajos á la langosta.
- 47
Sus viñas destruyó con granizo, y sus higuerales con piedra;
- 48
Y entregó al pedrisco sus bestias, y al fuego sus ganados.
- 49
Envió sobre ellos el furor de su saña, ira y enojo y angustia, con misión de malos ángeles.
- 50
Dispuso el camino á su furor; no eximió la vida de ellos de la muerte, sino que entregó su vida á la mortandad.
- 51
E hirió á todo primogénito en Egipto, las primicias de las fuerzas en las tiendas de Châm.
- 52
Empero hizo salir á su pueblo como ovejas, y llevólos por el desierto, como un rebaño.
- 53
Y guiólos con seguridad, que no tuvieron miedo; y la mar cubrió á sus enemigos.
- 54
Metiólos después en los términos de su santuario, en este monte que ganó su mano derecha.
- 55
Y echó las gentes de delante de ellos, y repartióles una herencia con cuerdas; é hizo habitar en sus moradas á las tribus de Israel.
- 56
Mas tentaron y enojaron al Dios Altísimo, y no guardaron sus testimonios;
- 57
Sino que se volvieron, y se rebelaron como sus padres: volviéronse como arco engañoso.
- 58
Y enojáronlo con sus altos, y provocáronlo á celo con sus esculturas.
- 59
Oyólo Dios, y enojóse, y en gran manera aborreció á Israel.
- 60
Dejó por tanto el tabernáculo de Silo, la tienda en que habitó entre los hombres;
- 61
Y dió en cautividad su fortaleza, y su gloria en mano del enemigo.
- 62
Entregó también su pueblo á cuchillo, y airóse contra su heredad.
- 63
El fuego devoró sus mancebos, y sus vírgenes no fueron loadas en cantos nupciales.
- 64
Sus sacerdotes cayeron á cuchillo, y sus viudas no lamentaron.
- 65
Entonces despertó el Señor á la manera del que ha dormido, como un valiente que grita excitado del vino:
- 66
E hirió á sus enemigos en las partes posteriores: dióles perpetua afrenta.
- 67
Y desechó el tabernáculo de José, y no escogió la tribu de Ephraim;
- 68
Sino que escogió la tribu de Judá, el monte de Sión, al cual amó.
- 69
Y edificó su santuario á manera de eminencia, como la tierra que cimentó para siempre.
- 70
Y eligió á David su siervo, y tomólo de las majadas de las ovejas:
- 71
De tras las paridas lo trajo, para que apacentase á Jacob su pueblo, y á Israel su heredad.
- 72
Y apacentólos con entereza de su corazón; y pastoreólos con la pericia de sus manos.
